Step by step guide on how to turn your USB dongle into a wireless Wi-Fi hotspot

After reading my previous post on “The Mi-Fi is the new USB Internet dongle”, Jeff an enthusiastic reader of this blog had a tip for me or rather USB modem users out there. While Mi-Fis as I explained have wireless internet sharing by default, USB dongles don’t. Yet, you might still want to share your USB modem internet with your buddy or a family member at home.

If so Jeff has you covered. With the help of your laptop’s Wi-Fi card, you can turn your USB dongle into a Mi-Fi of sorts. But this isn’t for the fainthearted. This right here is for nerds.
